As title really, has anyone successfully fitted Rs Turbo Recaros into their MK2 Golf ? I might be getting hold of a set, but just want to know if its an easy swap. I know I'll need Mk2 subframes mounted to them, but is this just a case of having someone weld them in for me ? Would Mk2 Recaro subframes bolt to these RsT Recaros ? Cheers in advanced. Pictures welcome too
Noooooooooooooooooo lol So its just a case of getting a set of Mk2 subframes and having them welded up ? Or will new holes need drilling to accept them ?
You would be better getting or making subframes The trick is to keep them low down in the car You can drill new holes in the subframes or drill and fit rivitnuts to the seats Sure you'll manage
Have a look at this It's for vw recaro's but gives you a idear of what you looking for /make You can use old vw seats cut down to make them http://www.clubgti.com/showthread.php?254707-mk2-Recaros-now-fitted&p=2216976&viewfull=1#post2216976 I'll have a look on another form a friend of mine had some made Edit this is made from a seat out of my old mk2 Greigzy got them made by a boy that works in a fab shop
Spot on Mushy, cheers. I think I'll go ahead and buy them. I'm sure I'll be able to do the above fairly easily. The price of Mk2 Golf Recaros these days are just stupid ! 900 + for sets with ripped bolsters ect.
aye just not worth it at that price when they need retrimmed thats why i got the mk3 Recaro's i had there is a set of mk2 Recaro's for 750 on ebay just now they are ok but not mint but you can get colour concept leather Recaro seats for half that or less same go's for the ford seats pus you get leg adjustment on the ford seats
I have a boxed band new recaro frame for my mk1 that you can look at. You are local to me too I think Dav
it depends on which ford they come from, some are the same as any recaro underneath some have an extra bit of box section with 4 captive nuts in. you can chop all that extra bit off and you're left with a flat base just like any other recaro, then its just a case of weld in 6 captive nuts (holes are already there for you) or 6 rivnuts, or whatevs and std mk2 recaro bases bolt right up
[/URL][/IMG][/URL][/IMG]I've put fiesta rs turbo recaros in my mk2 and your best bet is to get a couple of old golf seats and cut the front mount bit and 2 back legs off and weld up square frames and weld these parts on them and bolt the seats on.......sounds easy but it takes a bit of savvy with a welder, my mate made mine I even fitted the fiesta rear seat. It's well worth the effort as I only paid 120 for mint fiesta seats.
